Following a series of meetings and discussions in 2007 and 2008, the Committee unanimously agreed to merge FJFC with Fulford United, a local adult club. This merger provides opportunity for the further development of players – children and adults – and provides continuity between junior and adult football. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for the sharing of skills and experience to the benefit of all concerned with the Club.
The Club provides opportunities for young players from Under 6’s to 10’s in the York Mitchell Sports Mini-Soccer Football Leagues, Under 11’s to Under 19’s in various local leagues, and at open-age. In 2006 the club was delighted to launch a girls section and enter teams into the York Girls League.
All teams train throughout the winter months on Astroturf at various York venues with coaching provided by volunteers, with at least one coach per team having a minimum FA Level 1 coaching certificate. In addition the club has in place the necessary Child Protection and other policies to create a safe enjoyable environment for the kids. Playing membership is currently over 260 kids and the club is well supported by parents and local business, particularly our main sponsors Barclays and
Langleys.
The Club is run openly by a volunteer committee with
elected officers who welcome positive involvement from
all interested parties.
